University of Maine at Augusta’s Parker White upsets in Iowa, scores third career eNASCAR College victory

March 19th, 2025 by

Another eNASCAR race, another Parker White versus Steven Wilson battle for glory.

The eNASCAR College iRacing Series returned on Tuesday night with the seventh race of the 2024-25 academic season at Iowa Speedway. Wilson, the native Iowa Hawkeye, was the early and easy favorite, scoring the pole position and leading the first two-thirds of the race.

A late caution threw a wrench into his plans, as the Moose from the University of Maine at Augusta, White, opted for a strategy call to get ahead, taking two tires on the final pit stop to move into the lead. Wilson, meanwhile, opted for four tires, and restarted eighth as a result.

The battle came down to a natural Green-White-Checkered restart and finish. White, with the University of Calgary’s Connor Yeroschak alongside, led the field back to the final green. Wilson, in third, managed to get the jump on Yeroschak and move into second. There wasn’t enough time, however, and the two tire call was enough for White to collect his third victory of the season.

“I think Steven was definitely the quickest overall,” White said post-race. “He started to pull away from us quite a bit on that green run we had, so I think he was definitely the fastest. I think we went about 20 laps and then we all pitted again. There was no way I was going to take four, because I knew a lot of people were going to go for two tires, especially with how tight the car naturally built over the long run… That ended up being the right call.”

A group of eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series talent flooded the top of the leaderboard, the top-five finishers currently competing in the top level series. The University of Michigan’s Matthew Zwack, a former Coca-Cola iRacing Series competitor, finished the highest of the rest in sixth, with the University of Connecticut’s Jose Solis Jr carrying the flag of non-Coca-Cola drivers in finishing eighth.

The race saw eight cautions over the 100 lap contest, slowing the pace for 32 of those circuits. There was only one actual lead change, when Wilson was passed by White in the pits, but the University of Maine at Machias’ Daniel Faulkingham was credited with leading on two occasions with Wilson’s recent internet woes creeping back into the picture throughout the race.

Connecticut State University’s Jonathan Evans was the hardest charger, qualifying 34th and finishing in ninth, all but locking his place into the Homestead-Miami championship finale as a result. Chattahoochee TC’s Drew Jewah rounded out the top-10.

Next up for the eNASCAR College iRacing Series presented by Playfly College Esports is the final race of the regular season at Charlotte Motor Speedway in two weeks time.

eNASCAR College iRacing Series standings through Round 7 at Iowa Speedway are as follows (includes three drops):

  1. Parker White | University of Maine at Augusta, 154
  2. Steven Wilson | University of Iowa, 145
  3. Logan Clampitt | Cal State Fullerton, 141
  4. Daniel Faulkingham | University of Maine at Machias, 132
  5. Zach Sprouse | George Mason University, 125
  6. John Forbes Jr | Saddleback College, 122
  7. Matthew Zwack | University of Michigan, 120
  8. Jonathan W Evans | Western Connecticut State University, 117
  9. Nick Luetje | Purdue University in Indianapolis, 110
  10. Daniel Nanney | Ball State University, 106

While a good portion of the top drivers are safely locked into the championship race, the battle is on below the top-10. Names like Yeroschak and Ault were able to jump higher up the order after flirting with the cutoff entering Iowa, now both inside the top-15. Triton College’s Adam Garza, with only three starts, moves inside the top-25 for now with one more race to increase his point total.

Some drivers who have qualified for every A-Main race so far, like Missouri S&T’s Kaleb Bryan, San Jacinto’s Abraham Vela, and USCB’s Connor Trifari, find themselves on the wrong side of the cut line leaving Iowa, but still have a chance to get back in at Charlotte. Only the best four finishes will be counted towards their total points.

The next race on the College calendar is in the NASCAR Craftsman Trucks at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The Time Attack opened on March 18th and will run through March 27th. Once again, the top-40 eligible times will be invited to run the A-Main, scheduled on April 1st. That broadcast will be live on eNASCAR.com/live and across iRacing social media channels.
